This report is focussed upon adult stem cells (especially mesenchymal stem cells; MSCs) and their properties making them highly suited for the development of cellular therapeutics.

Too often, image analysis and data/image mining projects remain stuck inmicroenvironments because they are limited by vendorspecificsolutions that neither scale nor interact with material from other departments or institutions. Successful rollout of digital histopathology therefore requires more than a whole slide scanner. At Brussels FreeUniversity (VUB), we wanted to provide a core digital pathology infrastructure that can support a range of different use cases.Microfluidic extrusion of cell-laden hydrogel fibers for 3D-BioprintingCLNS - iit@Sapienza - Viale Regina Elena 291 - 00161 - Roma

The functional network of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons is a potentially powerful in vitro model for evaluating disease mechanisms and drug responses. However, the culture time required for the full functional maturation of individual neurons and networks is uncertain. We investigated the development of spontaneous electrophysiological activity and pharmacological responses for over 1 year in culture using multi-electrode arrays (MEAs). Translational Research of oral Neural Crest-Derived Stem Cells (oNCSCs) in Regenerative Dentistry1Stavropol State Medical University, Russian Federation, 2Praxisteam Hasslinghausen, Germany, 3Implantology Center Kassel, Germany, 4Witten/ Herdecke University, Germany, 5University of Reading, UK, 6

In this review poster, we summarize current knowledge on the oral neural crest-derived stem cell populations (oNCSCs) and discuss their potential in regenerative periodontology as a part of regenerative dentistry.Different Pathways of Regenerative MedicineTRM Leipzig, Universität Bielefeld

Altough regenerative medicine is rapidly developing there is neither a technical definition nor a common use in practice. The aim of this study is to draw the line at the limits of regeneration and medicine in order to figure out a proper understanding of regenerative medicine. Furthermore, the analysis reveals a prospering future. It has shown that regenerative medicine technologies are used for a variety of therapeutic applications.Building a digital pathology ecosystem for education and researchDepartment of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Vrije Universiteit Brussel; Department of Pathology, University Hospital Brussels

Technological advances in the last couple of years have enabled 3D scaffolds to be engineered that offer a real proxy for the in vivo environment which can be easily and routinely used in a cell culture laboratory.
Alvetex Scaffold enables cells to develop natural, in vivo-like intercellular interactions, providing an ideal environment for real three-dimensional growth and nutrient exchange that is comparable to intra-capillary exchange in living tissues.

Culturing of various stable cell lines, including bacterial, yeast, hybridoma, insect and mammalian lines, and stem cells, is an important task in the pharmaceutical industry. The cells need to be maintained and expanded for use in cell-based assays, such as siRNA screening, ADME and high content screening, as well as for clone selection. Stem cell research: Creating blood for high throughput screeningTecan Group Ltd.

Many different research fields, including investigation of early human development processes, disease research, drug discovery and cellular therapy applications, require appropriate in vitro models which can accurately mimic in vivo processes to provide biologically relevant results. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) offer a powerful system for creating in vitro models to address these questions. Analyzing Biological SamplesTecan

The proteasome is a massive protein complex which can recognize and bind targeted proteins, and inject them into the central core where the proteins are successively degraded into short peptides. Whereas protein synthesis is well-understood after decades of study, major advances in our knowledge of protein degradation have occurred only in the last two decades.Sample Reformatting and Sample ArchivingFluidX

Biobanking is becoming a central element in the study of patient genetic data and clinical application of genetic research. Until recently, collections of DNA samples have tended to be fairly small and localized with varied sample containers that were unsuitable for an increasing throughput and automated system use.Reading Racked 2D-Coded Cryo Tubes directly from -80ºC FreezerFluidX

Mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow have become an attractive model cell system for the in vitro and in vivo study of disease states such as osteoporosis, obesity, and arthritis. We have isolated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the bone marrow aspirate of a single human donor. Human bone-marrow-derived MSCs express the mesenchymal stem cell markers STR0-1, CD44, and CD90, and do not express hematopoietic markers CD14 and CD19. Human bone-marrow-derived MSCs can be expanded for 18
